How are we going to fight the upcoming war with Russia that everyone in DC seems to want so badly?

Mattis said “Dreamers” serving in or honorably discharged from the military will not face deportation. Mattis told reporters today that service members brought to this country illegally as children will not be subject to any kind of deportation, even if the DACA program expires.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Used to be a 6 year active obligated service for enlisted -

IF THEY TAKE HIM, a person who serves 4 yrs, HONORABLE service, at the end of his obligated service he should be given citizenship.

If one of them is KIA, his immediate family should be granted ... few years back mother was being tossed out of the country AFTER her son was KIA...that just isn’t right ESPECIALLY when there are a bunch of able bodied people around who REFUSE to enlist at least those that do serve HONORABLY should be well compensated for it.
If nothing else, at the end of enlistment should be given a fast track to citizenship with NO fear of being kicked out of the country...ESPECIALLY if he is a combat vet.

Finally, last week, Mattis said “Dreamers” serving in or honorably discharged from the military will not face deportation. Mattis told reporters today that service members brought to this country illegally as children will not be subject to any kind of deportation, even if the DACA program expires.

Honorable military service has long been a path to citizenship.

For me, it’s hard to trust a man who never needed a woman.

The FBI use crime funding for campaigning against Trump, the military is poised to do the same.

Trump of course does not seem to realize the Swamp is a system with his recent exec order on bump stocks. Ergo, lacking civilian leadership, Mattis the military man can only obey orders and lacks imagination

“‘I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fu*k with me, I’ll kill you all.”

Big talk. Then when one of his rifle squads got ambushed and they fought back exactly that way... he had them all arrested. The Haditha Marines.

Sadly, I agree with pretty much all of this. Mattis was neutered and has gone to graze the PC below average pastures. Him and Sessions both. Guess they got their dream jobs and figured they were done.

Remember what Patton said, “Soldiers who won’t F, won’t fight.”

I’m not even saying he had to marry one. But to never ever even want a woman? Even if just for a night or two?

Just straight up no women at all, all his life?

You just reminded me of this, from Mattis’ confirmation hearings.
“Frankly, I’ve never cared much about two consenting adults and who they go to bed with.”
The old “two consenting adults” trick.

Trump of course does not seem to realize

Ya, I'm convinced that you have complete command the situation, but Trump has no clue....Where do you people come from?

"At the US Air Force Academy last week, First Sergeant Zachary Parish, a member of the training cadre was admonished by Colonel Julian Stephens, the Vice Commandant for Cadet Climate and Culture, for simply informing cadets in an email to dress sharply and act like Air Force Cadets. Parish, was informed by the Academy leadership that he had committed, ‘micro-aggressions.’ "

Publicly admonishing a noncom under his command in front of the cadet corp is just about the most demoralizing thing a an officer could ever do. The cadets will lose respect for both the first sergeant and the officer involved.

And what the heck is a vice commandant of cadet climate and culture in the first place?
